When the sith lord began to dive deeper into the arcane art he began to desire a group of force sensitive individual under his command that could do more than simply fight for their leader. For this purpose he picked those from his Academy that showed a level of affinity for the arcane, teaching them the spells of the Nightsisters, the powers of sith runes and rituals, knowledge of the Shapers, insight of the Sorcerers of Rhand and glimpses of teachings of many more groups dedicated to more arcane applications of the force. From the forging of objects to the executing of large rituals and blood scarifies the Warlocks serve as Abyss arcane backup, be it in war or peace.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Warlocks were a late addition to Abyss ever growing group of allies and underlings, born out of his already recruited acolytes. At the start they were composed out of only a handful of members, handpicked individuals with a affinity for the arcane. The first were mainly witches of Dathomir, as they already possessed a certain natural talent for such skills, as well as knowledge to pass on.
With time a deranged ritual was put in place to test the acolytes of the Academy willing to join the Warlocks, allowing them to rise from simple soldiers into a more respected group. The promise of power pulled many to take part in this ritual, but most of them died through the magic they summoned during it.
Those that survived made up the first true generation of Warlock. While the group if formally lead by Abyss, the sith lord leaves the High Warlock free reign over the training and recruiting of new members, only taking command once he needs them.
